In the tales of Archy & Mehitabel (Don Marquis, 1916 onwards) the watchword of Mehitabel the cat was "toujours gay archy, toujours gay." Archy was a cockroach who couldn't hack the shift key on the typewriter, so always wrote in lower case.
An industrial town near Orenburg, Russia.
Yeah--that's probably the most sane policy.
For what it's worth, I try not to think too much about other people's reactions anymore. :-)
re: sprite—Wow! It is heartening to see how non-flamey that potentially volatile discussion remained.
Inspired by one of reesetee's comments there, I feel like volunteering this bit of tangential autobiographica: I am bisexual, and trying to figure out when semi-self-referential ironic gay comments are going to be well received, has often proved a challenging social puzzle.
Eeeeeek!
Not a problem, npydyuan. But whatever else you do here, avoid mentioning the word sprite! ;-)
Well, that's a relief. I was referring to the sense of fag identified by SonofGroucho. My logophilia, I'm afraid, is often matched with juvenilia!
Just a tad. But not to worry--I'm over it. :-)
Hmmm... no emoticon... have I genuinely offended?
Er...npydyuan? Easy there.

I work hard for a living...
True enough. :-)
But no less bonnie, blythe, and good, I imagine.
Interesting, I had no idea what day of the week I was born on, but thanks to the internet, I could look it up! Turns out: Sunday. However I am rather straight. ;-)
Alas, I'm Tuesday's child. Apparently I am full of grace. ;-)
But the child that is born
on the Sabbath day is…
bonnie and blythe
and good and gay.
